My 30gal

[Silly me]

I use to have lots of hair algae in the tank

I added 5 rosy bards to the tank today hopeing they would help me a bit with the bearded hair algae..
I really hope that they will not eat all my plant aswell

they dont actualy eat any algea......

as for a fish to remove hair algea.. do a seach for it on the forum, might pull sumthin up for you.

Rosy barb may indeed control your hair algae

Rosy Barbs (for hair/thread algae control, which by the way are EXCELLENT at it!)

Get Rosy Barbs (actually I have the long finned kind and they are BEAUTIFUL) to remove hair/staghorn algae. They love this stuff

 

[bunjiweb]

well it looks like they might well do!

If the barbs dont sort the problem i'd go for a small school of otos, maybe 3?
